`
`This represents the very high-level timeline of the Apache project. More detailed information about
`individual versions of each subproject can be found in their version history. Note that much of the early
`part of this document can also be found in the "about Apache" document on the Apache Server web site.
`
`The history of Apache starts with the NCSA HTTPd project. Quoth Rob McCool:
`> How did you first get involved in the NCSA HTTPd project, and who else
`> worked on that with you?
`It was largely me, Eric Bina did some work on group annotations, and I took
`some ideas/code/etc. from a number of people across the Web. If I tried to
`name them I'd probably forget a lot of people.
`I first got involved because Marc wanted to have a small, simple server
`that people could use with Mosaic. He felt the CERN server was too large and
`complex, and that something small and easy to understand would facilitate
`more widespread adoption.
`
`More information from Rob added here soon. The short form, however, is that Rob left to get a real job,
`and the project lost a lot of momentum. That's when Apache started, in order to fill the hole that was left
`by the demise of NCSA HTTPd.
`
`Brian Behlendorf started collecting patches to be applied to the last version of NCSA. The initial
`versions of Apache are available primarily as a series of patches. Hence, initially, the name Apache , as
`it was "a patchy server". At least, so the legend goes.
`
`The Apache Group, consisting of 8 individuals, traded patches on a mailing list set up for the purpose.
`
`In April of 1995 the first public release of Apache (version 0.6.2) came out. Also of great importance
`was the 0.8.8 release, based on the new server architecture, codenamed Shambhala, designed by Robert
`Thau.

`Apache 1.0 released on December 1, 1995 , and within a year surpassed NCSA as the most-used web
`server.
`
`The Apache Software Foundation was formed in June of 1999 , and incorporated as a 501(c)(3) non-
`profit corporation. See the ASF FAQ for more information.
`
`ApacheCon was held in March, 2000 , in Orlando Florida, USA. Apache 2.0 Alpha 1 was released
`during the closing session.
`
`ApacheCon Europe was held in October, 2000 , in London, England. Douglas Adams spoke.
